Many of you know jbchalk from this site. I just got a sat phone message from him and it appears he and his wife just moved one step closer to completing their goal of climbing the seven summits together unguided, when they successfully summited Aconcagua two days ago. It was Brandon's 2nd summit of the peak and Kristine's 1st. You can take at look at their site here.

It sounded like an epic. They got pushed back by bad weather and basically had to start all over. But Joel Gratz of www.opensnow.com came through again on a big climb (our climbing crew keeps him on speed dial) with a spot on weather window that they were able to take advantage of. They were also not climbing the standard route which made things a little more sporty.
